    I was wondering if there's such a thing as a 3/4 or full lenth sleeve dress out there with a casual vibe?

    Everything I find is 'modest' or 'cathedral ready'.  Or way too super fancy.

    Im sure that if you cant find a dress you love with sleeves, you can have sleeves made for one.

    How about getting the dress you like, but adding a bolero to it?

    What about something vintage style? I'm picturing it in my head, seriously!

     PS i'd totally sew this bad boy. Can you?

    I can't sew worth a flip!  But, yea, I'm totally picturing something vintage...but I'm really nervous about the expense of a vintage gown.

    This is kinda what I'm thinking...but maybe a little more form fitting.

    Here's a vintage lace one and it's only $175. I think you'd be surprised it's not too pricey

    Love this first one by Sposa. The second is from Maggie that comes with a bolero.

    Full length too...by casual I mean we'd be having a farm/or mountain top wedding.  No church.

    That last one is kinda awesome too. 

    Hmmm.  I wish I were engaged so that I could actually try stuff on and get a clearer picture of what I want!

    I like this...And could wear a bolero.  Can anyone identify this dress?  There was no source where I found it.

    Pronovias has some gorgeous sleeved dresses.  Some gorgeous dresses.  I think Opera may be my favorite.

    Cassablanca will custom make a gown for you from their dress inventory. I just ordered a gown to made to length with a different top and skirt for the gown of my dreams...saves you money at that rate too. Also, check out Forever Yours bridal gowns. They have new styles going back to sleeves, fuller coverage backs and more modest casual vibe. Good Luck!
